If you're over at Jewel Changi Airport and craving for Hong Kong-style fare, pop into the newly opened Tsui Wah at level three of the mall.
The newly opened 3,240 sq ft restaurant can seat up to 88 (with current social distancing measures). Nibble on its signatures like decadent Crispy Bun with Condensed Milk, as well as Borscht with Thick Toast, and Kagoshima-Style Pork Cartilage in Fish Soup with Mixian. The new outlet will also offer delivery and takeaway services for all items.
If you're in the mood for afternoon tea, there are two sets available. Set A ($19.80++) comes with the aforementioned pork cartilage in fish soup with mixian, together with spam fries, and fried wontons, among others. And Set B ($16.80++) will have you wolfing down a Jumbo Hot Dog Bun, spam fries, wontons, steamed corn and more. The sets are available for dine-in on weekdays from 2.30pm to 5.30pm, excluding public holidays.

As autumn rolls around, Sushi Tei has introduced a new seasonal menu with 20 dishes that nod the season's best flavours, from the Japanese-style Aki Wafu Carpaccio Roll ($10.80) to the Mini Kaisen Pizza ($8.80) that has succulent seafood atop fried gyoza skin.
Prized ingredients of the new menu: Sake Madai, Maruzen Craft Wagyu, and Selecta Chestnut-fed Pork. The Sake Madai fish, specially bred for Sushi Tei, has a red hue and velvety texture, and can be found in dishes like the Sashimi Moriawase 'Nagasaki' 4 Kinds, alongside three other types of fish, or enjoyed as sashimi or sushi.
Beef aficionados, look out for plates with the Maruzen Craft Wagyu. It comes from the Kagoshima wagyu breed of cattle, which boasts well-marbled meat. You can try it when you order the Volcano A4 Wagyu Don ($27.80). Then there's the Selecta Chestnut-fed Pork, which comes from Selecta pigs bred in Galicia, Spain, and has streaky and flavourful meat. It's used in the Chestnut Buta Yaki ($8.80), with the seared pork belly wrapped around squid and asparagus.
Sushi Tei’s Taste of Autumn menu will be available from Sept 15 to Dec 7, 2021. Visit Sushi Tei's website for a list of outlets.
